Unknown plane - identity request

[Brent Williams]

Any ideas as to the name of this plane?   Good looking ship.
It was recently aquired by Rodney Wertz.  It was stuffed in the rafters for decades and liberated from its lengthy prison sentence.
Nice redhead, lightning bolt case McCoy 40 was in the nose.

Any guesses?

I believe it to be a Novi I by Dave Gierke.
